The interesting thing is, Earth's surface is pretty smooth already. Smoother than an average bowling ball, I think, relative to it's radius

A good, professional-quality bowling ball is smoother than the Earth.

So what you’re saying is that flat earth guy in my comic is a bit misinformed? 🙃

He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit!

The punchline is that "flat earth experts" do not believe Earth is flat, they want to make it flat

He is flattening the earth, bit by bit

This guy's comics seem to be more "oh" funny as opposed to "ha" funny.
